To begin, woke progressivism has a precisely defined and systematically enforced body of doctrines which are to be believed, not rationalised. The fluidity of gender, the naturalness of homosexuality, the evil of whiteness - all of these and much more are to be received by simple faith. But these aren’t randomly chosen. They have overarching doctrinal bases that fit within the larger progressive ideological agenda. Put together, these constitute an interlocking body of progressive doctrine that provides a comprehensive ideology to its followers.

To reinforce this, woke progressivism also has its own catechol system used to proselytize and then indoctrinate converts. Much of this is done through the public schools. Schools even in deep Red states barely have a square foot of wall space that isn’t plastered with a trans flag or a BLM poster or some other woke progressive platitude. And it isn’t accidental that these schools are packed full of young, indoctrinated wokesters fresh out of

What we’re seeing with woke progressivism’s assaults on traditional American society is merely the efforts by a minority, but elite supported, religion to dominate society at large, even though it is not the religion held by the majority of the population. Yet, it is doing so in a way that structurally is not foreign to the American psyche, and thus doesn’t provoke the immune response in many that attempting to enforce a more European/Asiatic style of openly atheistic communism would. Of course, the end result for the victims of progressivism in power will be the same. But in the American paradigm, woke progressive religion is the means by which successful infiltration has and will continue to take place, especially when it guts traditional Christianity and wears its form as a skinsuit. So yes, when people on the Right raise the alarm that woke progressivism is not just your garden variety socialism but is a much more insidious mind virus designed to cordycept the American religious impulse, you should listen to them.
Commentary:
This is Great thesis". The superficial symbolism may look a little different (e.g., mask and raised fist instead of a cross) but the underlying structural framework of 'Woke, inc'. is nearly identical to that of old time American style evangelicalism. Whatever diabolical "think tank" came up with this certainly knew exactly how to capture these guys, hook, line and sinker.
Many Americans agree with T. Chilton that likens Progressivism to a cult. The people I know who are into this all think the same way on all of the issues. They all use the same words and expressions. They never question. If word came down that the sun rises in the west, they would believe it fervently. It’s a form of programming.
Their catechism of Progressivism is a religion. Their sacred publications "Rules For Radicals", Mao's 'Little Red Book', 'The Art of War' and 'The Process of Democratization'.
Their communion is abortion and "Mostly Peaceful Protests", while they burn and loot everything in sight. .
